His range is hard to predict imo. On the flop It could be some Ax or flush draw as well as some 77 combos and A7 but his sizing looks kinda small.

My turn raise seems kind of random but I don't imagine a huge amount of better Ax in his range as AQ+ at least raise pre and sometimes AJ. We may be playing into SBs hand by raising this small bet that could be intended to induce vs his flushes.

The rest of his range is flushes by turn but we block some. I'm not that comfortable w/ calling turn as BU is still left behind us w/ some better FDs and a good price.

Hi legand,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I think raising flop 3-way here if we assume he is a fish is ok (with reg behind). Otherwise, as played, the turn raise does get you some thin value vs worse Ax but that's about it. Might even get called by some Qd or Jd too. But it's still very thin 3-way thus why I like a flop raise to isolate the guy and get value then.

I'm glad that the turn raise isn't too terrible but as you say it's far from ideal. I would prefer the flop to be a raise especially knowing the turn action. On the flop I am somewhat uncomfortable with raising because we have two streets to go and we are building the pot up w/ a somewhat marginal hand. This is mitigated a little by the fact that we do have a fish in the hand though.

You do have position on the donker so that's good. If you are HU you still have the option to take a free card and try to get to showdown.

If the guy IP calls then the hand is over anyway.
